I just downloaded and installed Auto Realm a few days ago and have been messing around with it. I am happy enough with the appearance of maps it produces (although I haven't printed any out yet). The quality is better than I expected from freeware.
My issue is that the program is as buggy as all get out. It crashes frequently and often behaves bizarrely during normal operations like panning, line drawing and moving/resizing objects.
I would like feedback from other DMs who make their own maps, on what software they use. I am mainly interested in dungeon making software, not professional cartography or do-all graphics software, unless it can easily be adapted to dungeon making. Especially interested in freeware, but would probably blow money on one good investment.
I am attaching a sample file made with Auto Realm. Will be interested in anything that can make images as good or better.
